Fun, "beat your score" type arcade game that only costs one dollar. Worth it for the simplicity alone. + gamepad support
Excellent little endless arcade game, with 16-bit art style but gameplay more resembing the 8-bit era, or even the early 80s. It's quite addictive, easy for anyone to pick upand beat a few boards (every level is single-screen, with movement on a grid) but with a well-implemented difficulty curve. Arcade masters will be breaking a sweat before they clear level 30. The stages repeat thematically every five levels, with different layouts and more enmeies each time. Every fifth stage pits you against a giant teleporting, laser-shooting eyeball and his minions. Controls are crisp and responsive, and music is catchy (I swear the title screen tune is some song I ought to recognize). You'll be surprised how much time has passed as the game keeps enticing you to have one more go. Recommended for retro arcade fans, and a good price to boot (hill).
A very charming game, it manages to hit nostalgia much more than other retro titles. At that price, it's a steal. My daughter had to adjust a little to the grid, but I take it that it is there for pathfinding. Highly recommend!
Great little arcade game. The movement feels slow and clunky since your lil cowboy moves in a grid. Tapping a direction moves moves you exactly one tile over at a set speed, while holding it down moves you at the set speed until you release the button and stop in the exact center of the nearest tile. This is fine though, since the game most revolves around luring enemies into your line of sight and taking them out. You only get 3 shots, but they pass through enemies, then recharge a couple seconds later. Once you get the hang of it, the game becomes this cat and mouse with the enemies where you can sometimes clear half the first level with a single shot. Small things and nitpicks: -The enemy variety goes way up a few stages in with a lot of variety in their movements and attack patterns, this has the positive effect of adding some tension and variety, but exascerbates the issues with the grid movement. -The pixel sprites and art is really cute. Like...I genuinely love the mon...
